Formalities

Hospitalisation costs

Social Security will pay 100% of the cost of procedures costing €120 or more. For procedures costing less than €120, Social Security covers
80% of the cost, with the balance (co-payment) to be paid by the patient or, where applicable, his or her mutual insurance company.

Except in the case of outpatient treatment, the patient or his or her mutual insurance company will then have to pay the €24 insurance contribution, and a fixed daily rate of €20 if the stay is longer than one day.

These charges are waived for patients who are eligible for ALD, CMU, article 115, state medical aid (AME), or who have suffered an accident at work.

Additional fees:

The practitioners providing your care may have opted for the conventional sector with free fees (sector 2). In this case, they are authorised to charge extra fees, which you or your mutual insurance company will have to pay. The practitioner must inform you of this.

Transport :

Subject to medical justification and certain conditions, transport by Véhicule Sanitaire Léger (VSL) may be reimbursed.
